     I disagree with the statement. I think it should depend on the case of each family. For example, I didn't do any household works when I was a child. On the other hand, one of my friends say that she dislikes to see a man standing in front of the kitchen. And when I was a primary school student, one of my friends did some household tasks even when he was only a 6 years old boy. Each family differs from one another. So I think all children should not be required to do some household tasks.
     As my mother is a housekeeper and she proud of her job, she hates other family members to help her works. For example, when my father try to wash some dishes, she runs to the kitchen and push him out the kitchen room. So I and my younger brother didn't take any role in household tasks when we were children. I wondered if I could do household works in the future. But my worries ended up in vain when I began to live alone. Now I take all the household tasks by myself. So especially in my family, there were no need that children do some household works.
     If your child is a boy, it might be better not to let him do household tasks. This is because one of my friends says that she hates a man doing some househols tasks. Some women in my country still think that household tasks must be done by women. So if you make your boy to do some household works from the beginning, he might be hated by such women.
     On the other hand, one of my friends did some house hold tasks even when he was a 6 years old boy. Of course such a little child can not do many things. But he was required to do some little house works by himself. For example, we must bring our shoes every week and bring it back to school the next Monday. Of course I had my mother wash my shoes, but he washed his shoes by himself. That was very surprising to me.
     I have said three examples in the pragraphs above. And I think each family has its own situations. For example, both of parents might work outside and come back late at night. In such a case, it might be better that children do some house works. But if the family live with their grandparents, their children might not required to do household tasks. So I think whether children should required to do house works or not must depend on each family.
